Fear is all you need

 

"We will have hanged you, " said a cruel and ignorant king, who had heard of Nasrudin's powers, "if you don't prove that you are a mystic."

"I see strange things," said Nasrudin at once, "a golden bird in the sky, demons under the earth."

"How can you see through solid objects? How can you see far into the sky?"

"Fear is all you need," replied Nasrudin.
